He has practiced Pharmacy professionally since graduating Pharmacy School in 1987 at St. John's University in New York. Mr. Benoit has practiced Pharmacy in retail setting, hospital, and Long Term Care Pharmacy. He currently owns a Pharmacy in Trinity, Florida. The son of two Dominican immigrants to America, Mr. Benoit feels strongly about making hard work popular again, by telling the world of the journey his parents went through to see their son become a Pharmacist.
Born in 1963, Benjamin grew up in the affluent suburban city of Forest Hills, New York. After graduating with a BS in Pharmacy and taking on several positions in Pharmacy over the next two decades, Mr. Benoit realized his father's dream of opening up a Pharmacy of his own in 2007.
Since opening his own store in 2007, Benjamin has tried to earn back the respect for Pharmacy by taking the time to talk with his customers about their health problems. He has used his vast experience in Pharmacy to communicate messages of well being to his customers. This is a commodity that healthcare providers can no longer afford because of slimmer profit margins making healthcare providers take on more patients. He has also created a nostalgic ambiance in his Pharmacy by going back to its roots of mixing medications from scratch. In doing so, Mr. Benoit has filled a basic need for society by preparing products that are not commercially available, such as children's liquid medications, transdermal creams to limit system effects, or hormonal lozengers for sublingual absorption.
While experiencing the difficulties of opening up a new business, Mr. Benoit was attacked in his Pharmacy in 2009, but was lucky enough to survive by fighting back the attackers, and managing to wrestle away the shot gun that was pointed at him.
He currently sits as a board member of Trinity Medical Academy, and over sees the pharmacy technician diploma program offered there.view less
